Courts Update: Madigan sentencing, State Senator Emil Jones III corruption case, and more

 
Mike Madigan

The fall of Michael Madigan continued last week, as the former speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives and Democratic powerbroker was sentenced to more than seven years in prison. There are questions about what happens next in the trial of a state senator that ended with a hung jury. Also, a jury found a former January 6 defendant guilty of reckless homicide in a 2022 car crash.  

A Chicago Sun-Times reporter who covers the federal courts joins the program today to talk about what's been happening.
